Photograph of the Wigan team 1950's. Can anyone name all the players and suggest a date? I can pick out a couple including a young Frank Collier.
Prior to building a cover on the Spion Kop end of the ground.

Could the team be 1 Cunliffe, 2 Bevan, 3 Broome, 4 Ashcroft, 5 Nordgren, 6 Hurst, 7 Kelly, 8 Gee, 9 Cheetham, 10 Woosey, 11 Silcock, 12 F Collier,13 Street, if so than it was a home match against Rochdale Hornets, September 6th 1952. Can't place nos., 2, 6, 7 or 10.

Dai Bevan played in a skull cap,so I think he is middle of the back row,and Teddy Cheetham 3 rd from left front row.

Changed my mind,Harry Street middle of back row.

Comment by: BILL on 25th December 2012 at 11:45

That is Bevan right end of the back row.
